.Here are some common sense guidelines that you should follow when using Able2beme:

• Don't forget that your profile and Able2beme forums are public spaces. Don't post anything you wouldn't want the world to know (e.g., your phone number, address, IM screen names, or specific whereabouts). Avoid posting anything that would make it easy for a stranger to find you, such as where you hang out every day or a picture of you in front of your office or school.

• People aren't always who they say they are. Be careful about adding strangers to your friends list. It's fun to connect with new Able2beme friends from all over the world, but avoid meeting people in person whom you do not fully know. If you must meet someone, do it in a public place and bring a friend or trusted adult.

• Harassment, hate speech and inappropriate content should be reported. If you feel someone's behavior is inappropriate, react. Report it to Able2beme or the authorities.

• Don't post anything that would embarrass you later. It's easy to think that only our friends are looking at our Able2beme page, but the truth is that everyone can see it. Think twice before posting a photo or information you wouldn't want your parents, potential employers, colleges or boss to see!

• Don't say you're over 18 if you're not. Don't say you're younger than 18 if you're not. If Able2beme customer service determines you are under 13 and we don’t have your signed authorization form on file from a parent or guardian., we will delete your profile. If
customer service determines you are over 18 and pretend to be a teenager to contact underage users, we will delete your profile.

Able2beme has developed a number of safety features and settings to protect users from unwanted contact and allow control over the privacy of personal profiles, including:

Private Profiles ( will be available with version 2.0 release later this year )
Every profile has the option of being ‘private.’ This means that only you and those you have added and approved as friends can see the details of your profile, including your blog, photos, interests, etc.

Block another user( will be available with version 2.0 release later this year )
If a user that you do not know or want to interact with contacts you, you have the ability to block them from future contact. Also, if you feel this person may be a threat to yourself or others, immediately notify a trusted adult or law enforcement and report the user to Able2beme through the ‘Contact Able2beme’ link at the bottom of every page.

Turn off the 'online now' status icon ( will be available with version 2.0 release later this year )
Don’t want people to know when you’re on Able2beme? Turn off the ‘online now’ status icon so other users can’t see when you’re on the site and when you’re not.
